| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- http://i.imgur.com/rLAjPSW.png Oh snap! >Dat Miyano talking innocently with Rui's body Oh baby He wants to create a Neo-Hundreds with Umeda. With the "additions" Bk made to CROWDS they probably look like monsters now. Sugane and Utsutsu's development is definitely showing this episode, even PaiPai opened up a bit at the end. I wonder if Rui will make it into the kindergarten next week, he looked like he was at the entrance. |

| Glad to see that Joe's okay, and that the other Gatchaman are starting to open up. The Gatchaman go public, and Katze takes over X by taking the form of Rui's body. I'm interested in what Katze has in store with Umeda on his side, and the "Neo Hundred" The OST this episode was pretty good. This song definitely caught my attention haha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPtb7bV7jl4 |
| OD's facade being slowly being unveiled. Can't wait to see it all out in the open in these final episodes. The thing about this show that's a positive/negative but mostly positive for me is the show is always talking in riddles as Hajime says about Berg Katze. Things aren't as they appear and you have to really dig into the dialogue and contextualize it with the events happening in the show. Loads of that happening this week, I had to rewatch some sections at times to get what the characters were REALLY saying |

| Pai-Pai playing with the kids lol. |
 |
| Hajime is sooo full of energy~ Holy shit, I feel sorry for Rui this episode. The episode was cute though I guess. Hajime showing off to those kids @ the Kindergarten was amusing :3 I don't much else to add this one except the part about the 'grave' said by the little girl at the end. I sense something ominous coming soon. |
 |
| Hajime's plan was actually pretty effective, but I wonder what BErg has in store since he has control of X, and I also wonder what happened to Umeda considering his daughter was making a grave for him, which I find to be strange. But Rui really has no where to turn to, I'm not even sure how he'll be of much assistance to the Gatchaman since he doesn't have Crowds nor X, probably Hajime will think of something. I can't wait to find out what happens next. |
 |
| I get the title of the anime now, CROWDS vs Gatchaman... Like how they ended it with the child and grave sign. So what i learn is: OD his previous planet was destroyed. And that he is his half-human. Hajime goes straight to the source for an answer to Berg's riddle. He speaks and acts like a child, why not ask a pack of preschoolers. Interacting with them provides the entire team with an insight to solving the riddle. |
 |
| Yo did anybody else noticed as soon as Hajime came in and threw them chopsticks and that insert song came on. Shit got real from that point on. Love this episode, expect the parts with Rui. The pre-school thing was fun and a smart idea. My girl Hajime rocks. P.S. if you know what that song is please pm it to me. Thank you. |
 |
| LOL. I repeated the transformation scene 5 times and still feel excited about it. |
 |
| Another great episode. Really nice seeing the development of the characters shine through like this. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
| That end... will only make my Rui-Rui more depressed :( |
| I'm sorry but Hajime has been getting on my nerves. She seems like she has no breaking points, no handles, no plan but by some chance it always works out for her. I would like to see her make a decision that doesn't work out the way she intended and as a result someone loses their life or something goes horribly wrong. She is just too perfect. On the other note, I like her as a character for the same reasons, her perfection is almost mysterious. I want to know more about her. Has she ever had a bad day in her life? The day she becomes sad is the day this show starts to get real as in deep as in dark. |
| Okay, it's quite interesting to see that Hajime is now practically the leader. Even the Public acknowledges her as the leader. It seems like OD is going to be making his move really soon. This was quite a fun episode, but at the same time there seems to be a serious side to it as well as everything is building up to the clash between the Crowds and the Gatchaman and I can hardly wait. Paiman's suit was also added to the end of the OP which is kinda cool. |
| The doom for OD is almost so clear I'm inclined to believe maybe he will live and someone else will die. I don't know if I want a happy or sad emote for that. D: And, yeahh, I feel pretty bad for Rui, I don't know how he's going to feel comfortable meeting with Hajime now. D: |
 |
| Glad Joe didn't die. Sensed OD's death flag when he said goodbye to Utsutsu?And cause the episode partially focused on him? The Gatchaman reveal themselves to the public by visiting a preschool.And spent most of their time gaining publicity.Hajime eventually calls out Load for help defeating Katze. Katze stole X and Galax from Rui.And created the Neo-Hundreds and left them in Umeda's care. First possible death caused by Galax too.Texting and walking,didn't noticed stairs and died(wouldn't be the first time this happened XD). VioLink said: ^This,especially the scene he was talking to X,it was strangely hot^^>Dat Miyano talking innocently with Rui's body Oh baby |
| Great episode. Coming out to the public seemed like it would be a very bad idea. |
 |
| >Od: "dont touch my boobs" gave me a giggle. so is this some new madoka? |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| I believe Berg's plan is to wreak havoc through GALAX and the Crowds. I like what Rui was trying to do with GALAX, but things are getting bad when people stop seeing the need for anything else. The Gatchaman needed to reveal themselves so that humanity knows who to turn to when that system is compromised and the world starts to go up in flames. Which isn't just the Gatchaman, but who are people going to listen to when things seem to be going so well? |

Just like what she said to Rui too, Hero is still needed in this world, as someone to look up to, but most of all, as someone to carry all the burden of hope. |

| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| Hajime didn't annoy me as much this episode. So glad we got to know more about OD, but I really want to know about JJ. :B He's kinda disappeared. |
| u gay |
| OD got a death flag on this episode |
| mixed feelings, first I feel relaxed and all bc of them with little kids then I'm being srs and shit bc of Katze BUT DAMN THAT OD'S DEATH FLAG, NOOOOOOO I DON'T WANT HIM TO DIE ;AAA; |
 |
| Pai-Pai, Getting his ass kicked by: - Berkatze by thinking of him - a cat - a bunch of preschool children Damnit, panda, get your shit together! |
| I get the feeling OD is closer to Katze than we think. I think his "goodbye" message is indication that he was once so close to Katze that he fears the rest of the group will throw him out if they find out. Or rather that he'll have to leave when Katze gets closer to them. I've even been toying with the idea of them being related - especially since OD refuses to show his Gatchaman and Katze's is so mysterious and was mostly unseen when he did use it. Also, since OD mentioned knitting, I've been unable to get the image out of my head of him knitting the other Gatchaman jumpers and scarves for Christmas. He really is like everyone's mum. |
| Great episode!!! |
 |
| OD's deathflag is too effing high! I so wanna know what's going on through Hajime's mind. I wonder what is her plan. Poor Rui... Oh btw Rui cosplaying sure is confusing. |
| Well OD is certainly waving the deathflags around like crazy. But it wasn't like Jou wasn't waving around deathflags earlier either and he's mostly fine. Makes you wonder if they even need the rest of this group. Long as Hajime is moving things along they should be fine. The others just need to shut-up and follow. And here's the major problem with Galax. Having a system that checks to make sure it's physically you is fine. However when you have an alien walking around that can transform into people...then you have a problem. Now Rui has set up Galax and it can be painfully abused by Katze and now the Neo-Hundred. While Hajime is pretty well solving everyone's problems herself I kind of hope Jou figures things out on his own and returns to the fight without outside influence. Had a rough time losing that fight and the psychological assault from Katze. Jou just needs to take some time and think. |
| I would agree that it's a bit of a stretch to say that Katze never gets his hands dirty when it comes to destroying a world. He's gotten plenty involved directly in making that happen. Random killings either to lure out the Gatchamen or get Rui to challenge him openly. Taking control of Galax and giving the Neo-Hundred to an unstable individual who will take extreme actions, etc. Maybe Katze isn't doing absolutely everything when it comes to destroying the world but there isn't anyone more directly involved than him. But kind of feels like the hero and villain balance out fairly well so far. Katze is an unbelievably powerful individual who can hardly be faced directly in a fight. While Hajime is an equally odd individual who always seems to find the right thing to say or action to undertake while never getting too caught up in things like Galax. She and Katze are somewhat on the same level of weird. |
| Looks like Hajime is going for crowd sourcing, blame targeting and building a final bastion against despair. Doubt she holds much hope for getting the answer to the riddle though. By focusing public attention on Berg, information gathering becomes easier especially through galax (even though its been compromised, no one other than Rui knows yet). Whatever Berg is planning, by announcing the severity and source of the threat, as long as the entire team is not publicly defeated by him, the masses can still hold out hope that the gatchaman can stop whatever the catastrophe is. If it gets bad enough to be on a planetary scale, at least some of the population will not be in mass hysteria and rioting. From this episode's manipulation, the answer looks more like vengeance/retribution or power. Also the picture of Utsu makes me wonder. Was she killed by Berg and only an immature clone survived? Or did OD expect to die with Berg and wrote that on the picture. Kind of feel bad for Rui. He's been hammered again and again and that was a heavy blow, having a kid of someone you nearly got killed talk to you. Like Joe, he needs to get past that and inflict whatever self punishment he wants only after the threat is eliminated |
| OD is such a wierdo |
 |
| Lighthearted episode, just the opposite of the previous. Well, I'm satisfied, I really enjoyed that :D |
| Sugane and Utsutsu have really grown and now even Paipai is starting to change. OD is definitely sending death flags all over this episode. The past few episodes have been hard for Rui especially the final blow delivered to him this time by that grave sign and the lost of X. |
Aporie said: if Rui can still give "CROWDS" to people it's different, it would be possible to raise a "anti-Neo-Hundred" unit led by an alliance gatcha/Rui. I doubt his ability is gone. His note was taken out as with the other gatchaman and his ability likely stems from that, not from Berg. What i would guess is that Crowds is a group management power. It amplifies groups (Rui has no armor nor anything) rather than like the gatchaman whose powers enhances the self (power armor). It might just end up as Hajime asking Rui to use Crowds on the gatchman, unifying the group into a cohesive force (which they are pretty far from right now) Also Rui has 1 more thing that is as important as his power. His intellect. Unless X was made by someone else, he made an AI of very impressive ability. That speaks volumes of his intellect. |

| 02:31 dat dartthrow Poor Rui 12:58 "don't touch my boobs" ＝＿＝ ... poor Hundreds. |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| OD was so awesome in this episode. So fabulous, too! I'm going to cry my eyes out if he dies. D:< |
| I have a feeling that what OD said foreshadowed what is going to happen. So OD will die fighting (so his farewell words to Utsutsu), and Berg Katze is not defeated but only tamed by Hajime at the end (hence his describing Katze as a naughty boy who has never grown up when he talked to Hajime). |
| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
